Sunset light on the mountains during a strong wind storm at Valdez, Alaska. The color makes it much more interesting :wink:

Yes, Gary, the color does add a lot, especially as it emphasizes the snow blowing off the peaks. Must have been very windy as I see what looks like blowing snow in the low land as well.

That really is some special light! I love the softness of both the light and the image as a whole. Very nice!

BBRRRRR....... Nothing says cold like Alaska in Winter. I've been in Fairbanks in late October and that was plenty cold enough for me. Really like the low angle highlights. Thanks for sharing it. :toast:
